What legal measures can be taken if someone else claims the land on which construction has already been done?
Question asked by Mr. Hari Krishnan from Bangalore, India:
I have constructed a house in HSR layout in the year 2001. It is a BDA site. I have got registered sale deed and Khata. BDA engineer had identified the site and with their approval constructed the house. In 2008 one person is coming and telling me that the plot on which I had constructed is not the correct site number and says it belongs to him. I told him that BDA had identified the site and so he should contact BDA for all his queries. But he is trying to create trouble for me. What should I do? Please advise
Thanks

If you have constructed on the correct plot, then you have nothing to fear. If not, you can get a deed of exchange made and get the plot transferred between yourself and the person who claims it is his plot. Some stamp duty may be involved, which is unavoidable. The cloud over title will then be settled.
